NOTICE

■

Notice on fuel quality

●

Do not use improper fuels. If improper

fuels are used, the engine will be dam-

aged.

●

Do not use leaded gasoline.

Leaded gasoline can cause damage to

your vehicle’s three-way catalytic con-

verters causing the emission control

system to malfunction.

●

Do not use gasohol other than the type

previously stated.

Other gasohol may cause fuel system

damage or vehicle performance prob-

lems.

●

Using unleaded gasoline with an

octane number or rating lower than

the level previously stated may cause

persistent heavy knocking.

At worst, this may lead to engine dam-

age and will void the vehicle warranty.

■

Fuel-related poor driveability

If poor driveability (poor hot starting,

vaporization, engine knocking, etc.) is

encountered after using a different type

of fuel, discontinue the use of that type of

fuel.

■

When refueling with gasohol

Take care not to spill gasohol. It can

damage your vehicle’s paint.

Tire ply composition and materials

Plies are layers of rubber-coated parallel cords. Cords are the strands which form the plies
in a tire.

Radial tires or bias-ply tires

A radial tire has “RADIAL” on the sidewall. A tire not marked “RADIAL” is a bias-ply tire.

TUBELESS or TUBE TYPE

A tubeless tire does not have a tube and air is directly put into the tire. A tube type tire has a
tube inside the tire and the tube maintains the air pressure.

This information has been prepared in
accordance with regulations issued by
the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration of the U.S. Department
of Transportation.
It provides the purchasers and/or pro-
spective purchasers of Lexus vehicles
with information on uniform tire quality
grading.

Your Lexus dealer will help answer any
questions you may have as you read this
information.

■

DOT quality grades

All passenger vehicle tires must con-
form to Federal Safety Requirements
in addition to these grades. Quality
grades can be found where applicable
on the tire sidewall between tread

■

Treadwear

The treadwear grade is a comparative
rating based on the wear rate of the
tire when tested under controlled con-
ditions on a specified government test
course.

For example, a tire graded 150 would
wear one and a half (1 - 1/2) times as well
on the government course as a tire graded
100.
The relative performance of tires depends
upon the actual conditions of their use.
Performance may differ significantly from
the norm due to variations in driving habits,
service practices and differences in road
characteristics and climate.

■

Traction AA, A, B, C

The traction grades, from highest to
lowest, are AA, A, B and C, and they
represent the tire’s ability to stop on
wet pavement as measured under con-
trolled conditions on specified govern-
ment test surfaces of asphalt and
concrete.

A tire marked C may have poor traction
performance.
Warning: The traction grade assigned to
this tire is based on braking (straight

ahead) traction tests and does not include
cornering (turning) traction.

■

Temperature A, B, C

The temperature grades are A (the
highest), B, and C, representing the
tire’s resistance to the generation of
heat and its ability to dissipate heat
when tested under controlled condi-
tions on a specified indoor laboratory
test wheel.

Sustained high temperature can cause the
material of the tire to degenerate and
reduce tire life, and excessive temperature
can lead to sudden tire failure.
Grade C corresponds to a level of perfor-
mance which all passenger car tires must
meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standard No. 109.
Grades B and A represent higher levels of
performance on the laboratory test wheel
than the minimum required by law.
Warning: The temperature grades of a tire
assume that it is properly inflated and not
overloaded.
Excessive speed, underinflation, or exces-
sive loading, either separately or in combi-
nation, can cause heat buildup and
possible tire failure.

■

During customization

As the engine needs to be operating

during customization, ensure that the

vehicle is parked in a place with ade-

quate ventilation. In a closed area such as

a garage, exhaust gases including harm-
